Negro "Aunt" and "Uncle."
Flom the grimm ga y sun

rum ttt uitUtt NuusJ QUIZ
Editors Constitution: Why is it that SC
many of the respectable white people of this
country claim blood affinity with the negro
race by condescending to call them "aunt'
and 'uncler An 'auntn is a fathers OF
mothers sister, an 'uncle" is a fathers OF
mothers brother. Now. why should a
negro be made to believe that he is a blood
relation of white families by calling them
'auntH and 'uncle," terms of the highest
family respect! Is there any wonder that
some negroes think they are as good as a
white man, when they are called by these
endearing names! The negro is an imitator
of the white man, and if we are to keep the
races apart, let no such example be set for
the negroes imitation. GEORGIA.
Griffin, Aug. ., 1887.
All stuff and nonsense The old "aunties'
who nursed, and for that matter spanked,
the white children "afore de wah" claim no
kinship with the white people All the
grown up white people who remember the
good old ''auntie" or the accommodating
"uncle" still entertain kindly feeling and
respect for them. The ''uncles" and 7'aun-
tics'of the coloied race are fast passing away,
and when they are gone much that was
good of the negro race will be under
ground

TO the condition of the four men at Bing

fully and inhumanly whipped by \. u

DIR. Westmoreland's report was on file in

its entirety.
ATLANTA, Aug. &c, 1887.
To HIS Ecceltency, John b. Gordon
SIR--In compliance with your order
visited, on yesterday Aug. %, the convict
camp on the line OF the Georgia Midland
railroad, known as Binghams camp, and
carefully examined the convicts that had
been so brutally whipped just one week be-
fore. only saw four of the six that had
been reported to you by the principal keeper
ana assistant of the penitentiary, the other
two, less severely whipped, was with the
working squad, six or eight miles from the
hospital The four that / found in the hos
pital, ordered there the day before by the
principal keeper of the penitentiary, were
Hardy Mobley, William Slaughter, Cor
nelius Fowler and George Burney.
Hardy Mobley | found very severely
whipped, not only had the skin been de-
nuded from both bullock to the extent of
three inches or more in diameter, but on one
side the confusion or brIising beneath the
skin was very severe as found yesterday. a
week after the whipping, the swelling and
enduration the thickness Of an inch and a
half or more beneath the abraded skin. In
addition he had other marks of the lash.
William Slaughter had the same denuded
point over the buttocks, more extensive per-
haps, but did not have the deep commissions
or bruises as in the case of Mobley. He,
like Mobley, had other points of abraded
skin, perhaps more numerous than Mobiey,
The other two, Cornelius Fowler and
George Burney, did mot have abrasions Of
the skin from the lash to the extent OF the
other two, but sufficiently extensive and
severe to demonstrate that they had received
an unmerciful whipping. Respectfully sub
mitted, w +. WEsTMoRELAND,
Principal Physician to Penitentiary.
The four convicts who were so inhuman-
ly punished received the mmerciful chas-
tisement on a Friday night, and notwith
standing the pain and exhaustion that nat
urally followed upon such an outrage, they
were nevertheless put to work, and were
found at work when the penitentiary Off
GERS visited the camp Wednesday evening.
The sufferings of the poor wretches must
have been intense, rs their bruises contu-
sions and cuts were enough to send an ordi-
nary man to bed for some days.

 Fifteen Feet and Strikes on His
 Head.
 Late Saturday afternoon, Willie, the youngest son of Superintendent of Fire Alarm Smith, aged about nine years, while at play with number of companions on shed which is in the rear of Beers carriage shop on Olive street, lost his balance and fell if teen feet to the gronud, striking on his head. He was picked up for dead and carried to his fathers residence near by, where he was at tended by Dr. Frank Whittemore, who pro nounced him badly hurt but hoped to be able to bring him through all right. His condition last evening was quite favorable for his re- covery. It was a narrow escape, and it is thought to be remarkable by many that his neck was not broken by the fall.

AwARm GREETING

At St. John Street Church to Their New
 Pastor. Rev. MT. FOster-An Eloquent
 Speaker-Ris Success in the Ministry
 The new pastor of the St. John street church, Rev. I. N. Foster, preached to large congregations both morning and evening.
 His morning text was from Romans, 18th chapter and first verse: f'I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service" At the close of his ser mon he alluded to the recently supdered ties between3this church and it's recently beloved pastor, Rev. A. H. Wyatt. His remarks touched the hearts of the congregation and unconsciously drew them to himself. He spoke of MT. Wyatt as being personally one one of his dearest earthly friends, and asked the privilege of sharing with him place in the hearts of this people. At the close of the service the members of the church crowded the chancel railing to take their new pastor by the hand. MT. Foster is compara- lively new to this section of country, this being his second appointment in the New York East conference. As the result of his first pastorate in Brooklyn he succeeded in establishing @ church (where none existed before) and leaves it with a membership of two hundred and fifty, Sabbath school of six hundred scholars, and new church edi- flee which has already grown teo small for the congregation.
 His two sermons yesterday fully justified the reputation which he enjoys as pulpit orator.
 The people of St. John street are indeed fortunate in the successor of their late popu- lar pastor.
 His text for the evening service was Mark, 9th chapter and 34th verse: "And Jesus, when he came out saw much people and was moved with compassion. He loved them because they were like sheep not having shepherd, and he began to speak" In the course of his sermon the preacher incidentally related with thrilling effect some incident of his experience in the Andersonville prison. The St. John street people look forward with bright antici- pations of the future

sudden Death of an old citizen.

Russell filling died very suddenly yester- day morning at o'clock. He arose early feeling comparatively well, and while sitting on chair back of the stove suddenly and without warning fell over on the floor. As- sistance was immediately rendered him, but in about half an hour he breathed his last. Mr. filling had been great sufferer for the past three years with inhammatory rheuma- tism, and for the past three months failing rapidly. He was 8 Christian in every sense of the word, benevolent in character and steadfastly upright in all respects. He was deacon of the old Howe street church for many years, but lattsrly member of the Dwight Place church. In years gone by he was one of the most prominent builders of New Haven, having assisted in the construc- tion of the old State House. MT. filling was born in Hamden and leaves one son and three daughters-Bidwell filling, Mrs. Julia R. Sherman, Mrs. Emma Ford and Mrs. Fannie Smith. Years ago he was colonel of the old Second Connecticut State militia, and was large property holder in the district of Newhallville. The immediate cause of his death was apoplexy. He was 84 years of age. A singular coincidence is that his wife dropped dead in the same manner four years ago. The funeral will take place Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

THE RuNCn MEN

Fined $2OO And Six Months In Jail
 on Complaint of William Atwater-
 Another Complaint Adjourned For
 TriaI-Othsr Warrants served.
 The two bunco men, Harris and Burton, were before Judge Pickett Saturday in the City court. Attorneys Pigott and Pardee appeared for them. Attorney Pigott enter ed a demurrer to the charge of conspiracy to cheat and defraud William Atwater, on the ground that the allegations set forth were not unlawful anyway. City Attorney Ca- ble objected and Judge Pickett overruled the demurrer. MT. Atwater was then put on the stand and told the story of how he was enticed into % Home Place by one of the men, the same as has already been pub- lished Detectives Brewer and Reilly also testified against the men. Judge Pickett fined Harris and Burton each $200 and six months in jail for this offense.
 The case of W. H. Naltby of Northford against the men was then called. As MT. Maltby could not identify Harris, his name was stricken from the paper in this com plaint. Mr. Maltby told of coming to this city and being taken to 311 Crown street by Burtou where he was swindled out of &, 900. This complaint was adjourned till Wednes- dav. the 27th. Bonds were placed at s2 500. Additional warrants have been served on the bunco men in order to hold them in case they obtain the amount of bail which several we'll dressed men, strangers are trying to raise about town.
